“(Coffman’s) music is pleasant and sunny... It’s also damnably intelligent, even magical, with an undercurrent interweaving dark and light. The lyrics are inventive and poetic, sometimes in a Dylanesque (Bob) way.”

Genre | Indie-Folk, Singer-Songwriter
Blending a bohemian-punk ethos with an indie-folk sound, Cory Coffman melds his inviting voice with a musical eclecticism giving his songs popular appeal. Presenting poetic depth and musical thoughtfulness, Coffman is witty enough to laugh with and yet endearing enough to cry to.
In his debut album, Coffman paints his place as an artist worth listening to. Canvas and Color is as much about hopeful new beginnings as it is the nostalgic past. With heartwarming lyrics and subtle satire, Coffman pairs simple chord progressions with sweet melodies that speak to the innocence in us all.
Prompted by the COVID-19 lockdown, Coffman was inspired to take on a DIY approach. Recorded out of his little apartment in Duluth, Minnesota, Cory played every instrument on the album.
This album is dedicated to his Grandpa, Richard Shaw, who passed away in March 2020 while Canvas and Color was being recorded. The songs ‘Marigolds on Monday’ and ‘Weeping Willow’ are a direct tribute to him.
